NFL made A.J. Brown change cleats at halftime Monday

Early in the second half of the Philadelphia Eagles’ win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, ESPN’s Joe Buck noted WR A.J. Brown had changed his cleats.

The Eagles’ star was in bright green cleats in the first half and came out in black ones after the break.

Was it the field condition that made him switch?

Nope.

Brown took to social media on Wednesday and revealed the leagues forced his hand, or his feet.
